"Hi everyone Carole here with you today and this fab stash challenge. Jess did a photo shoot recently and I cant stop using the photos as they are so lovely. This one was taken at our local beach in October, a very chilly day, Jess has a wet suit on under the dress and top!!!

For this challenge we had to use an item from our stash for each letter in the word DIECUTS.

Here is what I used

D - Doily punch, I - Ink, Index card

E - Envelope, C - Clocks, U - Uniball pen,T - Tag, S - Shells. I hope you like it and visit all the designers blogs for lots more information. You can see a list of the stash i used and a How To Do This Page on my blog. Have a happy scrappy day, bye for now."

Today we have a wonderful layout to inspire you! Check out Steffanie's layout here:

Here's what Steffanie shares about her layout:

"I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I love these word stash challenges! And this was a longer one using even more items! Here’s the breakdown for my layout:

D – doily

I – ink

E – eyelet

C – circle punch, photo corner

U – uniball pen (white to make faux stitching and outline letters)

T – tag, twine

S – stripes, snowflakes, sticker letters

I pulled out some softer toned papers for this one. I generally use a lot of primary colors or at least more saturated colors, so this is always a challenge for me. Since my son was wearing a very blue coat, I went with black and white for these photos to better coordinate with the papers. These delicate snowflakes had been in my stash for Years! So great to finally use them!"

Here's the challenge:

Please visit us tomorrow with more DT inspiration and the new DT will be announced!!!

T- Tag, Ticket. S- Sewing."

Crystal said this about her layout:

"I used old pictures from a couple years ago from a gingerbread house party we had so much fun decorating the houses but as always Christmas time is so busy we have not had another party since. I really dug into my stash this time and enjoyed this challenge by using up some really old stash.

Today I get to share my layout I created for the December Stash challenge! :) Here's my layout:

I love these stash challenges! It really makes you dig into your stash and use product that we've had just hoarding away!!! lol I was able to use scraps from an Authentique collection I had sitting around and even was able to use some Heidi Swapp wood words that I just LOVE and was holding onto for that "special" layout, right? ;) The tag and the stick pins also have been sitting around in my stash waiting to be used!

Today, we have a fabulous double layout from Designer Cassie to inspire you! Check out her layout:

This is what Cassie said about her layout:

"This word challenge made me realize just how many supplies I can use in my stash for certain letters. I love these types of challenges because of how many items I can find in my stash that will work. For this page, the fact that I was able to pull together a two page layout with 13 pictures is just fabulous.

Today, Designer Rachelle has a fantastic layout to share inspired by the December Stash Challenge. Check it out:

Here's what she shares about her layout:

"Hi there scrappers! Rachelle here so excited to share my stash design layout. I love snow so I designed this layout with mixed media, distressed and snowflakes. It is so easy when you create a layout you really enjoy creating. Justin loves snow too, trying to catch a snowflake in his mouth. I applied ice sickles topped with glitter to make it just pop off the page. Adding the snowman created the perfect scene. I hope you have been inspired to get your layout going and enter the challenge. Can't wait to see it!!!!

Stash:

*D- Distressing, diecuts

*I- Ink

*E- Enamel Dots

*C- Chipboard

*U- Unibal Pen

*T- Tag

*S- Stencil"

Have you started digging in your stash yet? Can't wait to see what you come up with! :)

I can't wait to share my layout with you this month! I've titled it "UNDER THE SEA."

D - Dimensional Magic - to give shine and dimension to the fish and the shells that I fussy cut

I - Ink - Ranger Distress Stains and Distress Inks - LOVE them!

E - Embossing Pen and Embossing Powder - I can't tell you how long it has been since I've embossed! -check out the glittery coral!

Today, we have a super cute layout from Designer Tanti to inspire you!

Check out her layout here:

This is what Tanti said about her layout:

"Hi everyone. Since Christmas is coming soon, I made this Christmas theme layout for this challenge. For my page, I used a photo of my brother's cute cat „Romeo“. I took the picture a while ago. He was such a sweet cat and we loved him so much. But unfortunately, he passed away last year. So I have to scrap this picture to remember him.

For today's inspiration, we have Designer Elena sharing her wonderful layout:

This is what Elena said about her layout:

"Emma is very lucky because she has grandparents young and full of life and they do lots of fun and interesting activities with her (on this page I have selected only a few like fishing, archery, grape harvest, mountain walk and tree climbing). She is never bored with them and always learns a new lesson. It's a fortune that all children should have. Thanks grandparents.

"My name is Tone K. Jensen and I live in Norway under 20 minutes drive north of the capital Oslo. I am 46 years old live with my husband and son (15 years old). I also have a stepdaughter (soon 30 years old). I've always taken pictures and put them in albums, but I have been scrapping since 2004. The last two or three years I have also started making cards and I have relatively recently start with PL pages. I guess I am one of few that scrap everything and chronologically. But I love it, although I have only come to 2007 J (With PL everything goes much faster though).

Scrapping is my way to retrieve energy and relax. I do not know if I have any special style and if I have I do not quite know what category it falls under. I'm very fond of using stencil and mist and make LO with layers. Otherwise I use far too much time surfing around in the blogworld, but that's where I get inspiration."

Thank you Tone K. for agreeing to be our guest this month!!!Here's the challenge:

Please remember to list what items you used for each letter when posting your entry.

Entries linked up without a list will not be eligible for the prize drawing.

Entries are due: December 29th, 11:59 PM (PST)

NOTE: The objective of our stash challenges is to get you to dig into your stash, get creative and use up some or your buried, and hoarded stash, old or new. Therefore for the Stash Challenges you are to use items from your stash

Tone K. shared this with us about her page:"I have used the following:D -Dusty Attic chipboardI - ink

E - torn EdgesC - circles - chipboard - bottle CapsU - the letter U in the song title (this was a hard one)T - tissue tape, Tim HoltzS - stamps, scraps, metal embellishment from StorytellerMy son Daniel got a guitar from his Uncle an Aunt for his 7`th Birthday. :) I do not know why he wanted a guitar because he could not play on it, but he liked to sit and try "play" on it ( I have to say that he can actually play a little guitar today...15 years old :) ). When I got the challenge I thought some letters we fairly simple to find stash to, but the I, E and U is not very easy....especially the letter U. I struggled here, so I was very happy when I found a paper with notes and U in the song title :)"

I sure hope you get a chance to dig through your stash, create a layout and share it with us for a chance to win this month's prize:
